The problem with those 16-55s or a 24-70 on FF is too many elements, it affects contrast/flare. With really good zoom lenses you can get lulled into thinking they are just as good as primes, because they do look so damn good, but then you put on a great prime and they look spectacular which is even better than damn good in comparison.

In those situations 1 good zoom is better than 1 POS zoom.
